When your gift basket business is located in a home-based office, there may not be lots of room to store samples to take to corporate and non-profit group presentations.
You may be wondering why samples would be stored, waiting for someone to view them. It:
I remember my years of wrangling with this dilemma. My sample baskets first stayed in an extra bedroom converted into my office space. Then I transferred everything to my attic because the extra bedroom was re-converted into office space for my husband.
Finally, I built a new space within my home (but not in the attic) for easier access to my business.
Everyone does not have spare bedrooms, attics, and the ability to build new spaces, but all of us manage to find solutions to storage problems.
Where do you keep your samples, or have you decided to not keep any samples available due to space issues?

Shirley,
I must admit that I too have struggled with this over time. I was forced to relocate my sample baskets from my guest bedroom when family members visited me twice over the past year. I’ve finally found the best place to keep some of them is on a shelf in my utility closet of my laundry room. Although, I do also have a few covered in my garage on a shelf system too.
I’m glad you found a solution, Consuela.
This task can be a struggle at home when it makes sense to keep samples on hand.
We don’t want to decorate our homes with business products, yet finding space can be a tussle. Being inherently creative, we learn how to manage it all.
